Hi all,
We have had a problem going on for some time now and until now have attributed it to mites or some form of lice. Until recently we have had no fatalities. Yesterday we had an adult do (was the worst with the hair loss looked pink from bare skin showing) die. I have our back up buck in with the same pen as dead doe and he is 2 (was nice 4x4 yearling) and he is not even growing yet. All the rest of the deer except 2 adult does look like hell. I can't even recognize my own doe when I look her in the face. Please help quickly we cannot afford to lose anymore deer! Have treated with pour on meds for mites and lice to no avail (treated 2 months ago), Thanks in advance
